[s-cars] Diverter valve question

[RM]

Thanks Taka. Yes, well, if a customer wants his DV to whistle Dixie, and has 
the $$$ to back it up, I'll do my best to make it happen ;-) Looks like i'll 
simply go back to the Baileys stuff. They seem to work well. Yeah, i don't 
think i'd ever put a blow-off valve on my S4. That's Ricers crap :-)
Thanks Taka!
Rolf

Rolf-
When the engine is cold, the Bailey valves tend to make a "phssssht" sound
when you shut the throttle.

Your customer's request is rather funny, but to each his/her own.

Tell the customer that what he/she wants in terms of sound are the HKS
Super Sequential blowoff valves, but they are not good in a car running a
MAF-
it will run rich on shifts, not good for the engine.

I won't use a blowoff valve for this reason, although my stock valve makes
quite
a sound on cold days. I guess factory-built rice has its benefits. :-)
